Mega Drive Mega Challenge

Thursday, August 23, 2012

I’m in the mood for some 16-bit hijinks, but every title in the library is looking the same to me. So, let’s try a little challenge:

In the comments section below, give me a Genesis/Mega Drive title that you’d like to see me yammer on about. Good game, bad game, the reasons don’t matter. Sports games, adventure games, whatever you’d like to read about. Yes, even RPGs, though those will require much more time (so, if you have something else…)

Every person who comments gets one title. The first five titles will be – well, not exactly the next five reviews (since I have some already in progress) but close enough. If you suggest more than one title, the first one listed gets used.

If this works out well (and it did for Halloween) then we’ll do this again for other systems. Meantime, let’s hear what you want to read about!

About the Author

The J Man loves him some video games, of all eras and types. Finds them, plays them, then writes about them here for curious future generations. Follow him on Twitter at @BurningStickMan for even more musings and questionable life decisions.

This is an RPG, though, which you don’t seem to be too thrilled about. It looks quite interesting as it does not seem to be a straight port of the computer game of the same name, but rather a “reimagined” version and I would be curious how it holds up.

If that is too much to ask, the KOEI games would be great choices as well:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Nobunaga’s Ambition
Uncharted Waters
Genghis Khan
Liberty of Death

Liberty or Death would be pretty interesting, I think…it’d be a good example of the depth KOEI went into in their strategy games without being entirely too overwhelming or too unfamiliar of a story to American gamers *cough* Romance of the Three Kingdoms *cough*.
